INK-PAD HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,761?, dated April 27, 1886.

Application filed March 27, 1885. Serial No. 160,267. (No model.)

T0 all wwm, it may concern:

Be it known that I, vEmrUNLn D. CHAMBER- LAIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Westfield township, Union county, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and use ful Improvement in Ink-Pad Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a longitudinal vertical section through the center of the padholder. Fig. 2 represents the ink-pad holder removed from the casing. Fig. 3 shows the outer casing with the pad removed.

My invention has for its object the construction of an ink-pad holder by which the cloth over the ink will be kept tight and free from wrinkles automatically.

In the drawings, A represents the outer casing of the pad-holder; B, the ink-holder; O, a spring located beneath the ink holder, and D a cloth covering over the ink, secured at all points under and to the bottom plate,

E, thus binding the ink -ho1der, spring, and

bottom plate together.

In stretching and securing the cloth D over the ink-holder B the spring G should be depressed, in order that the spring may exert a constant upward pressure upon the holder and gently forcing it all the time against the cloth claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters.

Patent, is-

The inkholder B and cloth covering D and plate E, in combination with the spring O, placed between the ink-holder and the bottom plate, E, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

EDMUND D.. CHAMBERLAIN.
